I mean, I've been working out for a long time on and off, pretty seriously for long stretches, and they've never been this sore that I can recall. So if they are still this sore tonight, should I do more anyway? The plan was to start doing this three times a week, and I don't want to throw off the schedule. However I also don't want to do it if it'll just be detrimental and tear down more than it builds up. But then some people think you SHOULD train sore muscles because it makes them feel better and whatnot. So what do you think?


Stretch your muscles after you're done practicing. It helps to prevent some of that soreness. Thats the only advise >I< can give you. That includes before and after guitar-practice aswell. And if you usually dont stretch, then it should hurt.. abit.
